Description

Open Accordion

Ready for a real-world audition experience? Join Theatre EVOLVE’s Artistic Director, Anna Rachel Troy, for a three-hour mock audition workshop that takes you from prep to performance. A few days beforehand, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown—just like a genuine casting call—and email your headshot and resume for personalized review. On April 6, show up at your assigned time and perform your audition material in a supportive, professional atmosphere.

After everyone’s audition, we’ll gather for tailored feedback, guidance on refining your approach, and a warm, open Q&A. Discover what works, how to showcase your strengths, and learn new tips to stand out. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or brand-new to auditions, you’ll walk away with fresh confidence and practical skills. Reserve your spot now—class size is limited to 15 to ensure individual attention!

Attendance Policy

Closed Accordion

In order to get the most out of your work with us, our students should make showing up to every class on time a priority.

We understand that things do come up so if you know you're going to miss a class, please give your instructor as advance notice as possible. This will help them get you caught up and not throw off the rest of the group. Scheduling a make-up class is possible but not guaranteed.

Students enrolled in our Meisner Acting Program can only advance to the next level if they've attended at least 6 of their 8 sessions. If a student misses more than 2 sessions, they will need to retake the level in order to advance in the program.

Cancellation Policy

Student Cancellation

If a student is withdrawing from a workshop more than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition will be kept on file for a future class or workshop for a calendar year.

If a student withdraws from a workshop less than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition is non-refundable or transferable.

We appreciate you respecting this policy for the best experience for our instructors and students!

Please reach out at 773-217-9565 if you have any questions.

Studio Cancellation

Occasionally we'll have to cancel a workshop due to low enrollment. We're sorry if that happens to you! If we have to cancel a workshop you've signed up for, we will give you at least 48 hours notice and promptly start your refund process.

In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), a make-up will be scheduled as soon as it's safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio.

In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes.

Space is limited!

See "spots left" above. Enroll now before the class is full!
